Not Ranked
I understand the full details about the center gravity of the Big Block and all. My comments are aimed at the AVERAGE Cobra owner that might end up on a small road course a handfull of times. If I am going to be driving on the street 95% of the time, I am not going to be in some "measly" 550 horsepower small block Cobra that I purchased because the small block owners said "DON'T BUY A BIG BLOCK COBRA, THE 2 TIMES YOU TAKE IT ON A ROAD COURSE YOU WILL CRASH BIG TIME BECAUSE IT IS SO HEAVYYYYYYYYYYYY". I feel if some "sucker" falls for this he will find himself getting "smoked" by a 16 year old in a modified turbo Neon. I would prefer "smoking" the Ferrari's, Viper's, Corvette's, etc.. on the street with a 650+ horsepower big block Cobra, than having to pick on 454 Chevelle's, Honda Accord's, and Trans Am's with a 550 hosepower small block Cobra.
The point is simple, if I was going to race on a regular basis than I would recommend a Olthoff small block stroker Superformance Cobra. If I was going to spend 95% of the time on the street, I would go with the Cobra's that "rule" the street.......big block.
